Grade of service determination methodology in IP networks with SIP protocol
PublikacjaAlthough Grade of Service is very important in VoIP providers evaluation, We wasn't able to find any paper regarding the topic of measuring GoS variables for IP networks utilizing SIP, which are defined like for PSTN/ISDN/GSM networks (post-selection delay, answering delay, release delay, or probability of end-to-end blocking). Due to the lack of research in this field, it was necessary to start from defining measures and cover...

Collision-free network exploration
PublikacjaMobile agents start at different nodes of an n-node network. The agents synchronously move along the network edges in a collision-free way, i.e., in no round two agents may occupy the same node. An agent has no knowledge of the number and initial positions of other agents. We are looking for the shortest time required to reach a configuration in which each agent has visited all nodes and returned to its starting location. In...
